Since 2021, the Biden administration’s open-border policies allowed fake asylum applicants to quickly get work permits. They have been used to obtain commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs).
It has flooded the trucking industry with “hundreds of thousands” of non-citizen drivers. Many don’t have training, language skills, or vetting needed to safely operate 80,000-pound rigs. Many can’t read road signs.

I use to travel allot with my small children, the truck drivers were great, always seemed to be watching out for us, now I don’t even like to travel, we’ve seen way too many truck drivers change lanes in front of us when there’s no room. They scare me
